Quick Summary
For kids who can't put down a comic book, Gus Beezer with Spider-Man delivers the perfect mix of hyper-active imagination and superhero thrills in a super-short, easy-to-read format. Gus, a middle-child who lives and breathes Marvel comics, finally gets his wish when a field trip to the city lands him right in the middle of a Spider-Man showdown. The story pops with panel-style narration and laugh-out-loud moments that make the pages turn almost by themselves. Reluctant readers who think reading feels like a chore will find the snappy pacing and familiar superhero world a huge motivator, and anyone who loves humor-packed adventure like the Dog Man series will feel right at home.
